Tsui
Tin-Yau (originally Tsui Man-Gin) was born on May 16,
1983. Discovered by director Fruit Chan while he was walking
down the street one day, Tsui’s first gig was a commercial
for lemon tea. Through the help of Chan and manager Amy
Chin Siu-Wai, Tsui won parts in the films Glass Tears
(2001) and Gimme Gimme (2001). For Glass Tears,
Tsui received the opportunity to go to the Cannes Film
Festival with the director and cast to promote the film.
Soon after he signed with EMI and was partnered with Wong
Yau-Nam to form the boy band Shine. Since then, the two
have appeared together in The Mummy, Aged 19 (2002)
and Summer Breeze of Love (2002). (Yinique 2003)
